Peninsula Prosecutor

February 3, 2003, early morning.

Dingling bell~Dingling bell~

The silence in room 1810 of an apartment building in Longshan District was broken by a burst of phone ringing. The young kidnapper who was responsible for keeping vigil in the living room was instantly awakened. After taking a look at the caller ID, he couldn't help but smile.

Hello. He pressed the connect button casually.

Then the crying voice of Zhao Dahai's wife came from the mobile phone, My husband has surrendered in the early morning and notified reporters in advance. If you turn on the TV now, you should be able to see relevant reports on the morning news later. I hope you will be true to your word and let my son go, wuwuwuwu...

We will watch, don't worry, we will release your son as soon as we see the news. After the young kidnapper finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stood up and knocked on the master bedroom door, You guys, get up quickly, hurry up.

What's wrong? After a while, the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper walked out while getting dressed.

Apparently they settled things with each other last night.

The young kidnapper said with a smile: Zhao Dahai's wife just called and said that Zhao Dahai surrendered in the early morning. She also notified reporters that the morning news should report relevant news soon.

As he spoke, he bent down and turned on the TV.

Subconsciously, I pressed the remote control to switch to the KBS TV channel that South Koreans often watch today. At this time, there was less than ten minutes before the morning news.

Haha, what a father's love is. The middle-aged kidnapper yawned, and then said: Xu Jingxian trusts him, which is a bad luck. He notified reporters in advance because he was afraid that the people behind Xu Jingxian would suppress the matter. So I'm anxious, I have to put Xu Jingxian to death for the sake of my son.

Zhao Dahai is qualified as a father, but he has obviously betrayed Xu Jingxian's trust.

He's got himself involved, and he doesn't even care about Xu Jingxian's life or death. The woman shook her head and commented, turning around to signal the man to help her button her underwear, and then added: This is the first time I've seen this The stepfather is so affectionate towards his stepson.

Isn't it clearly stated in the information given by the employer? Otherwise, why would we kidnap Zhao Dahai's stepson? the young kidnapper said casually.

The middle-aged kidnapper fastened the underwear of the female kidnapper and then sat down on the sofa. He stretched out his back and said, Axi, I've been hiding in the house every day and feeling so panicked. It's all finally coming to an end.

Time passed by, and with the familiar opening music, KBS morning news was broadcast on time.

The host is still the intellectual Lin Zhiai.

Good morning, viewers, and welcome to today's KBS morning news...

At first, she broadcast normally, but she paused in the middle, with a look of shock on her face. She raised her head slightly and looked at the camera and said: Now we are interrupting an urgent news. Our station has just received news that Zhao Dahai, the substantive officer of star prosecutor Xu Jingxian, has died. Surrendered himself early in the morning and confessed that Xu Jingxian was suspected of multiple crimes...

The trio of kidnappers looked at each other, unable to suppress the smiles on their faces, and high-fived each other in celebration.

Yes! Hahaha! Done and call it a day!

I can finally leave this hellish place!

Dingling bell~Dingling bell~

At this moment, the phone rang again.

Zhao Dahai's wife. The young kidnapper picked it up, looked at it, and said to the two of them, and then connected the phone.

Hello? Have you seen the news? Let my son go, let him go immediately! If you go back on your word, I will call the police now. I have nothing to lose! Zhao Dahai's wife said hysterically in a crying voice. He yelled, obviously losing control of his emotions and reaching the edge of collapse.

The young kidnapper's expression changed and he said, Don't be impulsive, we will release your son right away.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at his two companions.

That woman's son was kidnapped and now she just lost her husband. She is going crazy. We must stabilize her as soon as possible to prevent her from calling the police and causing trouble. You can leave her son in a public phone booth and we will go to the employer to get the balance. Meet at the airport. The middle-aged kidnapper looked at the young kidnapper with a serious face and said.

The young kidnapper nodded immediately, Okay.

Everything has obviously been done, it would be too damned if something unexpected happened at this time.

It's better to complete the deal quickly and run away.

The young kidnapper drove Zhao Xuyang to a public phone booth to release him, while the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper drove another car to find the employer to collect the balance.

The two parties split up at the intersection outside the apartment door.

When they merged into the main road, the police who had already ambushed them followed them in their cars.

Shortly after leaving the apartment building, the young kidnapper found a public phone booth, then took out the earplugs from Zhao Xuyang's ears, tore off the tape on his mouth, and cut the ropes around his hands and feet. Get out of the car, you are free from now on, here you go. Mom, please wish me peace.

Zhao Xuyang's face turned pale, and he glanced at him in shock. He quickly opened the car door and rushed out without looking back. However, he did not obediently run to the public phone booth, but to a shopping mall with a large flow of people.

You kid, you're quite smart. The young kidnapper sneered and was about to start the car and go to the airport to wait for his companions to evacuate. However, before he could turn the key, several cars rushed over from all directions and surrounded his car. It's all watery.

The young man was immediately frightened, and immediately reached for the gun subconsciously, but as soon as he touched the gun, the cars surrounding him had several black muzzles sticking out of the windows, pointing at him through the glass.

Let him not dare to act rashly again. After all, as long as he dares to raise the gun, he will be beaten into a sieve in the next second.

Don't move! Police!

Slowly raise your hands! Quick!

Then the doors of all the cars opened, and plainclothes policemen with guns got out and surrounded the young kidnappers.

Seeing this scene, the young kidnapper felt like he was struck by lightning, his eyes were dull and his head was buzzing.

Fell into a trap.

But he didn't understand how he was exposed.

The news has clearly reported that Zhao Dahai surrendered and reported Xu Jingxian, how could it be false?

On the other side, the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper did not know that their accomplices had been arrested. The middle-aged kidnapper was driving while the female kidnapper called her employer.

Hello. A calm male voice came from the phone receiver, sounding over thirty years old.

The female kidnapper said: Boss, the matter has been settled. Bring the balance and meet at the same place.

Her tone was full of relaxation and comfort.

Done? Aren't you awake? What nonsense are you talking about? The employer was stunned for a moment and then spoke in a bad tone.

The female kidnapper was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her pretty face turned cold, Boss, what do you mean by that? No one dares to blame us yet. If you don't miss the money, there is no need to make it so ugly.

Her first reaction was that the other party wanted to default on the bill. After all, she didn’t believe that her employer had not seen the contents of the news report.

Axi, I'm defaulting on the debt? The employer laughed in anger and said through gritted teeth: You guys haven't even finished the matter yet, and you want the balance? Who the hell wants to default on the debt? Do you think I'm being taken advantage of?

Didn't you watch KBS TV's morning news today? The female kidnapper felt something was wrong.

Look, I watch it every day. I'm still watching it now. What's wrong? After the employer thought about it, he got angrier and yelled angrily, That's enough. Don't worry about Zuo Yan. What on earth do you mean!

Now it was the female kidnapper's turn to get angry, and said with a sneer: Now that you've seen the news, you still say that we haven't finished our work? Isn't this an attempt to renege on the debt?

They had agreed at the beginning that as long as they succeeded in forcing Zhao Dahai to report Xu Jingxian, their mission would be completed.

But now that the news has come out, her employer wants to deny it. How can she not be angry?

Assi! Damn it! What are you talking about? The employer felt that this woman had some serious illness.

I... Before the female kidnapper could finish her words, she was interrupted by a loud noise. The vehicle they were driving was hit by an off-road vehicle and hit the green belt.

The employer heard the commotion and asked: Hello? Hello, hello? What's wrong? What are you doing over there?

However, the female kidnapper was in a daze and her cell phone fell under the seat, so she was unable to respond at all.

Come on, Assi! The employer hung up the phone.

Du~du~du~

There was a busy signal from the female kidnapper's cell phone.

The middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper in the car were stunned by the sudden violent impact. When they came to their senses and their vision became clear, they saw that a dozen people in civilian clothes had surrounded them with guns.

The leader's mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was saying something, but their heads were so buzzing that they couldn't hear clearly. They just realized that the situation was not good now.

Police! Don't move. We are going to rescue you now. Don't try to resist in vain...

Finally their hearing recovered, but the words they could hear made them feel like they were falling into an ice cave, and they might as well not listen.

But then a doubt appeared in their minds.

How did the police discover them?

On the other side, the employer who had just finished talking to the gangster started to think something was wrong. He immediately turned around and walked towards the dining room of the villa. At this time, Zhao Taiyuan, wearing a nightgown, was sitting at the huge dining table eating breakfast.

Two nannies stood beside him to serve him while he ate.

Boss. After approaching, the bodyguard bowed slightly to him first, and then said: The guy who worked just called me and said a bunch of incomprehensible words. Then there was a loud noise over there. I'm afraid something happened. We Do you want to prepare early?

After careful investigation, it was found that Zhao Dahai had a very good relationship with his stepson, so kidnapping Zhao Dahai's son and forcing Zhao Dahai to surrender and report Xu Jingxian was a way Zhao Taiyuan came up with to retaliate against Xu Jingxian.

After all, Zhao Dahai must be the person who knows the most about Xu Jingxian's secrets, and he must also have certain evidence of his crime, which can prevent Xu Jingxian from turning over.

Trash. Zhao Taiyuan cursed, rinsed his mouth with water, turned around and waved to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard took two steps forward and leaned down slightly.

Zhao Taiyuan grabbed his ears, kept exerting force on his hands, and said with a smile: Do you think I scolded them? I scolded you! Trash! You take so much money from me every year, even a few people who can do things... If you can’t find me well, what’s the use of me wanting you? Huh?”

He took the mouthwash and poured it over the bodyguard's head.

Boss, calm down, ah! I promise it won't happen again. The water soaked his hair and slid down his forehead and cheeks. The bodyguard felt like his ears were about to be torn off, and his facial features were distorted in pain as he said.

Only then did Zhao Taiyuan let go, then picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped his hands with a look of disgust.

The bodyguard immediately took two steps back and gasped, covering his red ears, and then asked repeatedly, Should we prepare early?

What preparations are you making? Zhao Taiyuan ate breakfast indifferently and said vaguely: So what if they are caught? At most, they will just confess you. What if you are caught? Will you confess me?

Don't dare! the bodyguard immediately lowered his head and responded.

That's right. Zhao Taiyuan shrugged.

The bodyguard pursed his lips and said cautiously, But once they reveal me, Xu Jingxian will know that it was you, the boss, who instigated this.

He certainly didn't want to go to jail if possible.

So what? Zhao Taiyuan smiled incredulously, turned to look at him, and asked seriously: Does Xu Jingxian have evidence? There is no evidence! So, even if he knows that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, You can’t catch me and make him mad, haha.”

The bodyguard couldn't help but smile. Although his salary was very high, he still felt chilly at this moment.

However, the sad thing is that even if he is coldhearted, when the police find out about him, he will still have to shoulder all the blame and clean up Zhao Taiyuan.

Who told him that he has an old man and a young man? If he dares to disobey, then his family will be in danger.

………………………

Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, Investigation Room 3.

Xu Jingxian pushed open the door and entered.

The handcuffed middle-aged kidnapper behind the interrogation table slowly raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Xu Jingxian, he gritted his teeth and asked, How did you do that?

He really couldn't figure it out.

Technology changes life. Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, pulled out his chair and sat down, crossed his legs and said calmly: The news you saw is actually a TV program I asked KBS TV station to customize exclusively for your residential area. .”

Of course, in order to prevent misunderstandings caused by too many people seeing fake news, I also asked the power department to cooperate with other people on the street where you live to cut off power during the morning news. Only your den will be powered on, so only you can watch it. To fake news.”

Then I asked Zhao Dahai's wife to pretend to be about to collapse and call the police, threatening to call the police if you don't let him go. After you read the news, you made sure that the matter was settled. If you don't want to cause trouble, you will definitely let him go as soon as possible. , in the end, as long as we are sure that the hostages are safe, we can close the net.

After Xu Jingxian finished speaking, he smiled and spread his hands.

It's that simple. It's nothing more than a favor owed to the leaders of the TV station and the power department.

The thing he is least afraid of owing is favors. Only by owing each other back and forth can we further deepen our friendship.

The middle-aged gangster fell into silence. After a while, he finished digesting the information and sighed and asked, How did you find where we were hiding? We control the call time and you can't locate it.

It's impossible to position by machine. Xu Jingxian nodded and asked, But what about people?

The middle-aged kidnapper was startled and suddenly realized that he was being targeted while making a phone call in the square that day.

Dong dong dong! Xu Jingxian knocked on the table to bring him back to his senses, and said, Now it's time to answer my doubts. Is there any grudge between us?

No? The middle-aged kidnapper shook his head and said without any concealment: We charge money to do things.

Who is the employer? Xu Jingxian asked again.

The middle-aged kidnapper replied: I don't know his name, but I remember what he looks like. You can arrange for someone to draw his portrait. My description ability is not bad.

Xu Jingxian nodded and stood up to leave. Naturally, the people below will be responsible for handling the rest.

In the Lu family, Lu Wuxuan was sitting in the study, writing and drawing. He scratched his head from time to time and lost a lot of hair.

He is making personnel adjustment plans after taking office.

Dong dong dong! There was a knock on the door.

Without waiting for a response, Jin Zhuqing walked in through the door with a cup of coffee. As a secretary, he was able to serve at home, which showed how much he was trusted by Lu Mouxuan.

Your Excellency, please have a cup of coffee and rest. There are still more than twenty days until the inauguration. There is a lot of work that cannot be rushed. Jin Zhuqing said respectfully.

Lu Wuxuan put down his pen and sighed, Personnel arrangements are really a problem. If we take down too many people from the National Party, they will definitely not agree. If the two parties fight for this, their energy will be consumed in infighting, and there will be no time. Just focus on national affairs.

He is an idealist, and his thinking is relatively simple for a politician. After taking office, he wants to give up part of his power and co-govern with the opposition National Party, so that the two parties can work together to develop the country.

But what he did was damage the power of the Democratic Party as the ruling party. Many people in the party will have opinions about him. Therefore, from the original time and space, it can be seen that he wanted to do many things during his time in power. However, the result was that many things happened. They all made a mess.

After all, not everyone is as dedicated to the country and as broad-minded as you are. Jin Zhuqing complimented, glanced at the notebook in front of Lu Wuxuan inadvertently, and said casually: As long as you can start the first chapter after taking office. With one shot, you have successfully completed the reform of the prosecutorial system and established your prestige. Then in the future, the two parties will definitely coexist peacefully under the leadership of a strong man like you and work together to contribute to the country.

As Lu Wuxuan's personal secretary, he certainly knew that Lu Wuxuan had made the reform of the prosecutorial system his primary goal after taking office. Although he felt that it was a bit of an excuse, he did not dare to say anything.

After all, Wen Yingzai couldn't persuade Lu Wuxuan, but his secretary would be easily resented if he tried to persuade him.

Yes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. This first thing must be strong! However, the resistance he will encounter will definitely be great. Lu Wuxuan said thoughtfully.

Jin Zhuqing smiled again and said: Minister Xu is the idol of all grassroots prosecutors. As long as you have his support, you will be able to suppress different voices.

Lu Wuxuan was silent when he heard this. He hadn't told Xu Jingxian about it yet. After all, Xu Jingxian was also a prosecutor. His approach was to reduce the power of all prosecutors. Would Xu Jingxian still be willing to support him?

There is also Prosecutor General Lin. He is loyal to you and will definitely support you unconditionally. Jin Zhuqing observed his expression and mentioned Lin Zhongcheng again.

Lu Wuxuan's eyes moved slightly and he began to ponder.

Lin Zhongcheng did express his loyalty to him many times.

It was even a bit flattering, which made him unhappy.

But he has to admit that if he proposes to reduce the power of prosecutors now, the only one who can absolutely guarantee his support is Chief Prosecutor Lin.

Lin Zhongcheng is the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office and is the most powerful and influential prosecutor general in the country.

If Lin Zhongcheng takes the lead in expressing support for his reform of the prosecutor system, the success rate will be much higher.

He has promised several times before that he will use presidential privileges to promote Xu Jingxian as prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office after taking office, but now he is hesitant.

Because if Xu Jingxian does not support his reform plan for the prosecutors, then if he puts Xu Jingxian, who is already very prestigious, in such a key position of great influence, wouldn't it be equivalent to personally creating a powerful support for his own reforms? resistance?

After thinking about it, he sighed, looked at Jin Zhuqing and said, Make an appointment for me to have dinner with Minister Xu.

Yes, Your Excellency. Jin Zhuqing bowed slightly and turned to leave. When he walked out of Lu's house, he did not call Xu Jingxian, but called Lin Zhongcheng, Prosecutor Lin, your Excellency, do you have any opinions on whether to replace you with Minister Xu? I have already hesitated about this matter.

Thank you very much, Secretary Jin, for your kind words. I will definitely thank you again when things are done! Lin Zhongcheng said excitedly.

He had long known that Lu Wuxuan wanted Xu Jingxian to replace him, and of course he did not want to give up such a key position, so he showed his loyalty to Lu Wuxuan in an almost flattering manner, while at the same time showing weakness at every turn and even paralyzing Xu Jingxian by giving up his position on the Prosecution Committee.

All in order to ultimately keep his official position.

The key point is to cooperate with Kim Soo Kyung.

Jin Zhuqing chuckled lightly, There's no need to express my gratitude, as long as Prosecutor Lin can be used wherever he is needed in the future, it will be fine if Prosecutor Lin can help.

Although Xu Jingxian helped him last time, he still chose to help Lin Zhongcheng keep his position, because he will be the President's Secretary in the future, and he also needs someone with a high enough status in a key department such as the prosecution.

And Xu Jingxian obviously couldn't be willing to listen to him, so he could only feel sorry for Xu Jingxian.

Everyone has their own interests to consider.

Definitely, definitely. Lin Zhongcheng responded.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Zhuqing called Xu Jingxian, Minister Xu, are you busy? Your Excellency hopes to have dinner with you tonight.

Okay, send me the address on your mobile phone and I will arrive on time. Xu Jingxian agreed immediately.

That night, Xu Jingxian and Lu Mouxuan met in a restaurant, accompanied only by Kim Soo Kyung.

Senior, it seems that you must be very busy during this period, and you even have dark circles under your eyes. After sitting down, Xu Jingxian used ordinary words to draw the relationship between the two of them closer.

My head is getting bigger. I just asked you to have a drink and relax tonight. Lu Wuxuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, I'm already so busy before I become president. I really don't dare to think about the future.

The two of them chatted a lot. After drinking for three times and having a good meal, Lu Wuxuan finally got down to business, Jingxian, you are a prosecutor. What do you think of the current prosecutor system?

Xu Jingxian poured the wine for a moment, thinking about what Lu Wuxuan had done in the original time and space after he came to power to undermine the prosecutor's power and fall out with the prosecutor, and he immediately knew what he wanted to do.

I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I'm in this mountain. As a mountain person, I'm afraid I can't see many things as clearly as my senior, a person outside the mountain. I'm willing to listen to my senior's teachings. Xu Jingxian put down his wine glass and said.

Lu Wuxuan took a deep look at him, drank the wine and said: Jingxian can't see clearly, or does he not want to see clearly? The prosecutor's power is so great that it is almost unrestricted. I am ready to reform this so that the prosecutor can exercise its power. The process was supervised. As a prosecutor, Jingxian, do you have any suggestions for this?

I just want to ask you directly if you support me.

Lu Wuxuan said it so clearly that Xu Jingxian couldn't help but want to scold him. With his understanding of this guy's temper, if he dared not support him, no matter how deep the friendship was in the early stage, he would instantly fall out.

Just look at Jin Houguang and you will know this.

Lu Wuxuan's achievements are closely related to Jin Houguang. Jin Houguang almost single-handedly promoted him.

In the original time and space, in order to win votes, he said that after winning the election, he would liquidate the Jin Houguang government. I thought he was just talking, but he actually did it.

Xu Jingxian was sure that if he stated that he did not support him, the personal relationship between the two would end there.

Support, of course I support it! After all, power can only guarantee its fairness when it is supervised. Xu Jingxian first took sides, and then changed the subject, But, senior, things here are very complicated. Don't rush, take your time. Take your time...

Lu Wuxuan had a smile on his face when he heard the first half of his words, but after hearing the second half of his words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared visibly.

Xu Jingxian supported him, but had too many worries.

You cannot support him at all costs.

Comparing with Lin Zhongcheng made him very dissatisfied.

So he had already decided in his heart that Xu Jingxian could not be the prosecutor general of Seoul. This position must still be given to Lin Zhongcheng who supported him unconditionally.

Lu Wuxuan was a man who couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he interrupted Xu Jingxian's words directly, I know what you think, and I will consider it. Jingxian, let's talk about your next step, the four branches of the East, West, South, and North. Office, or the head of the Central Investigation Department, please think about it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible.

Xu Jingxian instantly raised his head, first staring at Lu Wuxuan, and then at Jin Suqing behind him.

Jin Zhuqing smiled politely at him.

Okay, senior, I will consider it. Xu Jingxian's face was calm, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the knife and fork were turning white from too much force.

He originally thought that this position was in his pocket, and many people thought so too. But now that it is not given to him, what will other people think of him?

Then he slowly exhaled, let go of the knife and fork in his hand, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, I'm done eating. Please use it slowly, senior. Please take your leave first.

Zhu Qing, send Jingxian a favor.

Please, Minister Xu. Jin Zhuqing raised his hand.

Xu Jingxian nodded slightly and followed him out.

Who found you? Xu Jingxian's face turned cold after he walked out of the private room and he asked calmly.

Based on his understanding of Lu Wuxuan in the past two years.

Even if he did not give himself the position of Seoul District Prosecutor General, he would not be so straightforward and tough.

It was obvious that someone had given him eye drops in front of him, or given him a better choice.

The only person who can turn a blind eye is Kim Soo-kyung.

Jin Zhuqing smiled slightly and pretended to be dumbfounded, I don't know what Minister Xu means...

You will know soon. Xu Jingxian stopped and stared at him and said with a smile.

Then he snorted and walked away quickly.

Jin Zhuqing looked at his back with disdain.

Minister, why are you so fast? Zhao Dahai, who was sitting in the lobby smoking, was startled when he saw Xu Jingxian walking out of the elevator. He immediately put out his cigarette and stood up to greet him.

Xu Jingxian said nothing. When Zhao Dahai saw this, he stopped asking any more questions and quickly passed him to open the car door.

Axi! Go to hell!

After getting in the car, Xu Jingxian started yelling.

Even before Lu Wuxuan became president, he started to kill people, and the people below also started fighting among themselves.

No wonder things were so messed up during the administration.

I'm going to fucking decide the position of Seoul District Prosecutor General! Xu Jingxian raised his hand and loosened his tie.

Not giving you what you promised.

Then he would take it himself.

Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Sorry, something urgent happened today, so the update is late...
